We can’t wait to see everyone at Open House tonight. As a convenience to our families, all three schools (RHPS, RHES, & GWC) are having open house tonight. There will be a great deal of traffic so please be patient with us. Here are a few tips/reminders that will make your day go more smoothly: • We extended the time to a 3 hour window, 4PM – 7PM. • Please consider carpooling to reduce the number of cars coming and going. • We will have staff members helping to direct traffic and assist with parking. • When families leave our tri school area to go back to 144 it will be a RIGHT TURN ONLY. Cars turning right from our area should turn into the outside lane and continue down 144 eastbound and make a U-turn further down if they need to go west.

Save the Date for Open House! RHES will welcome our Wildcats to the building to kick-off the 23-24 school year on Monday, July 31st from 4:00-7:00. We can't wait to see you there! #TheWildcatWay

As a result of our discussion, the students and staff will not be required to make up missed days caused by the mandatory evacuation order for Hurricane Dorian.
